Description from the seller

Rolo Necklace with Hand-Engraved Owl Cameo – Rhodium-Plated 925 Silver

A refined handcrafted necklace featuring a striking sardonyx cameo depicting an owl, finely hand-engraved according to the tradition of the master engravers of Torre del Greco, renowned worldwide for cameo art.

The subject is particularly rich in detail: the owl is depicted facing forward, with wings folded and the plumage carefully sculpted. The natural contrast between the white relief of the shell and the warm brown background highlights the engraving and lends depth to the figure.

The setting, made in **Rhodiated 925 Silver**, follows the irregular profile of the cameo with a modern and slightly organic design. The bail is embellished with **white zircons**, adding an elegant point of light without stealing attention from the engraving.

Completing the jewel is a **45 cm rhodium-plated 925 silver Rolò chain**, a choice that gives the necklace a luminous and refined appearance.

### CARATTERISTICHE

* Typology: necklace with cameo pendant
* Subject: **Owl**
* Cameo: natural sardonyx shell
* Cameo workmanship: **hand-engraved**
* Setting: **Rhodium-plated 925 Silver**

### THE MEANING OF THE OWL

The owl is traditionally associated with **wisdom, knowledge, intuition, and the ability to see beyond what appears on the surface**. A subject with strong symbolic value that makes the cameo particularly original and recognizable.

### THE ART OF TORRE DEL GRECO CAMEOS

Each cameo is individually worked on the shell, using its different color layers to obtain the characteristic contrast between the light raised subject and the naturally darker background.

The manual craftsmanship and the natural features of the shell ensure that each piece shows **small differences and unique, unrepeatable details**, making each jewel unique.

### PACKAGING AND SHIPPING

The necklace will be delivered in an **elegant gift box** and carefully protected for transport.

Fast, **tracked and insured** shipping via SDA or UPS courier.

If bidding on multiple lots, please select **combined shipping before payment**. If payments are made separately, the lots will be shipped individually and the respective shipping costs cannot be refunded.

Seller's Story

My creations are born at the heart of Italy’s artisanal tradition in Torre del Greco, a world-renowned symbol for coral processing and cameo carving. Each piece of jewelry is the result of knowledge handed down through generations: the coral is carefully selected, the cameo hand-carved by master artisans, every detail refined according to techniques that belong to the history of Mediterranean jewelry art. I believe in authenticity, in natural materials and in the value of manual work. For this reason I offer only pieces that embody identity, culture and passion, pure expressions of Italian excellence. Each object is not just a piece of jewelry, but a fragment of tradition that continues to live on through time.
